The task of adding or removing nodes from Slurm is well documented and
discussed in SchedMD presentations, please see my Wiki page

Not sure if that's changed but aren't there cases where 'scontrol
reconfigure' isn't sufficient? (Like adding nodes?)
But yes, that's my point exactly; it is a pretty basic day to day task
to update slurm.conf, not some daunting operation that requires a
downtime or anything like it. (I rememb
You can push a new conf file and issue an "scontrol reconfigure" on the fly
as needed... I do it on our cluster as needed, do the nodes first then
login nodes then the slurm controller... you are making a huge issue of a
very basic task...

Hello,
a lot of people already gave very good answer to how to tackle this.
Still, I thought it worth pointing this out - you said 'you need to
basically shut down slurm, update the slurm.conf file, then restart'.
That makes it sound like a major operation with lots of prep required.
It's no

Hi David,
I use SaltStack to push out the slurm.conf file to all nodes and do a
"scontrol reconfigure" of the slurmd, this makes management much easier
across the cluster. You can also do service restarts from one point etc.
Avoid NFS mounts for the config, if the mount locks up your screwed.

1. Part of the communications for slurm is hierarchical. Thus nodes
need to know about other nodes so they can talk to each other and
forward messages to the slurmctld.
2. Yes, this is what we do. We have our slurm.conf shared via NFS from
our slurm master and then we just update that single
Hello,
I'm new to Slurm (coming from PBS), and so I will likely have a few
questions over the next several weeks, as I work to transition my
infrastructure from PBS to Slurm.
My first question has to do with *adding nodes to Slurm*. According to the
FAQ (and other articles I've read), you need t
